Maybe this is the wrong venue to ask in, and I'm sorry if it is, but this question has been nagging me for about the past week or so. I have a personal server running Slackware 8 with a custom-compiled Apache 1.3.27 (with the appropriate mod_perl) and MySQL 4.0.13. This server is currently running the LiveJournalserver code and works quite well at this. I'm interested in attempting to set up slash for personal use (the Livejournal code is running for personal use as well), and herein lies the question. Can slash be run on the same server in another VirtualHost without having a separate apache installation/process and doing some fancy trick with mod_rewrite? Or am I asking too much? I will be happy to provide any further info anyone needs through e-mail (the e-mail link above is NOT spam-armored at all).

I'm going to be doing some "big things" with Slashcode but am interested in going through someone to set up Slashcode and the server, so that I can just right in and start building the site. What are the best hosting services out there? Will they set up Slash for me? What kinds of experiences have people had?
